UC Davis students have built a demonstration prototype for a dark matter detector and installed it at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Switzerland. If the demonstration is succesful it could lead to ...

Prototyping is an indispensable step in the development of particle physics experiments like DUNE and projects like PIP-II. When complete, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, or DUNE, will be ...

An international collaboration has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for particle physics experiments. In 2024, the T2K ...

Scientists hoping to find new, long-lived particles at the Large Hadron Collider recently realized they may already have the detector to do it. Physicist Cristián Peña grew up in Talca, a small town a ...

A century ago, physicists didn't know about the existence of neutrinos, the most abundant, elusive and ethereal subatomic particles of matter in the universe. Although they are abundant, each ...

In 2024, the T2K Collaboration started to collect new neutrino data following several upgrades to the experiment that included new types of detectors. One of these, called SuperFGD, has a mass of ...
